Enabling CAN driver on VOXL2
-
I wanted to use CAN to integrate the VOXL2 with a bus to run motors but noticed that the SocketCan drivers are not enabled in the default VOXL2 image. I'm aware the Flight Control board has a CAN interface (https://forum.modalai.com/topic/1560/can-device-support/2?_=1696869997420) but I wouldn't make any use of the other peripherals on that board. Even if I use a Flight Control board, the CAN interface to the PX4 controller would not enumerate on the VOXL2 as a SocketCAN-compatible interface e.g.
can0without this kernel module.How feasible would it be to add the CAN module into the VOXL2 kernel?
